Plant-First Dog Foods

KARMA Dog Food Features Over 60% Plants, Plus Fish or Chicken

KARMA dog food sets itself apart with a plant-first formula that's supplemented with real chicken or white fish to provide a healthy balance of nutritional value and flavor that pets will enjoy. The plant-first dog food from Mars Petcare boasts more than 60% plants so that dogs get the benefit of plant-based superfoods and high-quality protein.

In the plant-first formula, some of the most integral ingredients are flaxseed, chickpeas, dried coconut, chia seed, dried pumpkin, kale, blueberry, spinach, apple and carrot.

As well as being drawn to the ingredient-conscious formulas, dog owners will appreciate that KARMA is manufactured in a site committed to zero waste to landfill. Additionally, its Karma Recycling Program in partnership with TerraCycle makes the bags for KARMA dry pet food nationally recyclable in the United States.
